An identifying feature of these early DiMarzio/Charvel bodies was that they had the traditional small recessed rounded/triangular Charvel electronics route on the back. By late 1978 Charvel was not only manufacturing their own bodies, but also manufacturing bodies for DiMarzio, which were sold via mail order and bore a woodburn "DiMarzio" stamp in the neck pocket. EVH's first black and yellow Strat was made with this particular body easily identifiable by the unusually-shaped small control route. ![]() Very early pre-serialized Charvels were assembled using bodies supplied by Lynn Ellsworth and manufactured under the "Boogie Bodies" moniker. EVH's early black and yellow Strat featured one of these early BB necks. As mentioned above, very early into the pre-serialized period, there were no necks actually being made by Charvel (Grover Jackson) and they were most often purchased from Lynn Ellsworth of Boogie Bodies (BB). The Charvel neck is the heart of the guitar there can be no disputing this fact. Ill copy and paste what I believe matches the description of every part of the guitar And now that my dad has set it up, THIS THING SHREDS HARD!
